Both African Americans and Latinos are considered underrepresented minorities because their percentage in the undergraduate population falls beneath their respective percentages in the state population.

Hawaiians, Samoans, and Guamanians are the three largest Pacific Islander subgroups. Although Asian Americans reside across the country, approximately 66% live in California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, and Texas. Approximately 75% of the Pacific Islanders population live in just two states California and Hawaii. Asian American population nearly doubled in size from an estimated 3.5 million in 1980 to almost 7 million in 1990, while Pacific Islanders population grew by 41% between 1980 (259,566) and 1990 (365,024).

My grandfather was a tailor in Oakland and my mother was born in Stockton. And the waitress interrupted and without any hesitation said: "So how do you like your new country?" a Chinese American attorney He asked the price of beef. Then he said: "You Koreans charge too much." My brother said: "I'm not Korean, I'm Cambodian." But he's mad. He says: "You Koreans rip us off." a Cambodian-born store owner The growth and diversification of the Asian American population in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Driven by sustained immigration and refugee resettlement during the 1970's and 1980's, Asian Americans have emerged as the nation's fastest growing racial group. Given that the school-age Asian American population doubled in the 1980's and is expected to double again between 1990 and 2020, our schools and the larger society must confront some critical questions. For example, what do we know and what can we teach and learn about Asian Americans? Asian Americans number more than 9.1 million in the U.S. and represent more than thirty different nationalities and ethnic groups, including Samoan, Tongan, Guamanian, and native Hawai'ian from the Pacific Islands; Lao, Hmong, Mien, Kmhmu, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, Burmese, Malay, and Filipinos from Southeast Asia; Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, and Sri Lankan from South Asia; Afghani and Iranian from Central Asia; and Korean, Japanese, and Chinese from East Asia. In the year 2000, the six largest Asian nationalities in the U.S. will be Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Asian Indians, and Japanese. The diversity of Asian Americans, in terms of their various languages, cultures, and histories is remarkable.

Seventy percent of US Asians are immigrants who entered the US during one of three distinct immigration waves: before 1975, between 1975-1979, and 1980 or later. Most Asian Americans who have arrived since 1965 still live in ten large metropolitan areas. In 1996, an estimated four in ten Asian Americans lived in California.

Extractions: Society tends to group all Asian Americans together. However, they are a diverse group including such ethnicities as Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Indonesian, and Vietnamese. Asian Americans face a difficult economic life in the United States. According to Joel Spring in American Education , "Cambodians, Vietnamese, and Laotians have the highest rate of welfare dependency of any racial or ethnic group in the United States" (p 131). Discrimination exists because Asian Americans are overlooked in schools. Teachers assume that these students will do well in school and neglect their educational problems. Because of this, 23% of Asian Americans do not have a high school diploma. Asian Americans are not shown role models either. Usually, they are not seen in US history books.

However, unparalleled growth in the Indian and Vietnamese American communities between 1990 and 2000 has added to the increasing diversity of the Asian American communities of the U.S. This analysis, conducted by the Asian American Federation Census Information Center (Federation CIC), is based upon a Census 2000 profile , released today by the Commerce Department's Census Bureau.

They or their ancestors came from Asian countries, particularly Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. More than 10 million people of Asian descent live in the United States. Today, Asians are the country's second fastest-growing minority group, after Hispanic Americans. This article discusses Asian Americans (Who Asian Americans are) (Where Asian Americans live) (Asian American accomplishments) (History of Asian immigration) (Asian Americans today). Who Asian Americans are According to the 2000 U.S. census, about 3 percent of the United States population is of Asian descent. Asia, the world's largest continent, has 49 countries, so the Asian American population consists of many different ethnic and cultural groups. Chinese Americans form the largest Asian group, making up about 2 million of the 10 million Asian Americans. Filipino Americans are the second largest group, with about 1 million people. The next largest groups are Americans of Asian Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese ancestry.

Extractions: var site="s12asiannation" ;var g_frames=true; As I mentioned, according to the 2000 U.S. census, Asian Americans make up 4.3% of the total U.S. population that's about 12 million people who identify themselves as at least part Asian. However, this number represents an increase of 63% from the 1990 census, making Asian Americans the fastest growing of all the major racial/ethnic groups in the U.S., in terms of percentage growth. But in so many ways, the presence of Asian Americans is much more prominent than even these numbers suggest. Results from the 2000 Census have given us a detailed picture at how the population of the U.S. has changed in the past few decades, especially in regards to Asian Americans.
